Just Another Meatless Monday

Here is the vegetarian version of the wildly popular Bubble Up Pizza Bites. We love pepperoni and all things cheesy but sometime we need to go vegetarian and these fit the bill. From the crunchy crispy cheese melted on the top to the veggies poked down inside these babies are sure to knock your veggie lovin' socks off.

Bubble Up Pizza Bites-Vegetarian Style

12 slices of zucchini

4 mushrooms, cleaned and sliced

dash of olive oil

1 loaf of bread dough-use your own, mine or frozen bread dough

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

1/4 cup pizza sauce

heat a small skillet over medium heat
add a dash of olive oil

sauté the zucchini and mushrooms until cooked through

remove from heat

preheat oven to 350˚
grease a muffin tin
divide dough into 12 pieces

place each piece in a muffin cup

place a slice of zucchini, a few mushrooms and a pinch of cheese on the top of each piece of dough

use you fingers to shove it right down into the dough

then add a little dollop of, about a teaspoon of pizza sauce

sprinkle the top of each bite with cheese, about 2 teaspoons

then press down on the cheese well into the dough

the dough will bubble up around the filling, you want it to do this

bake about 15-18 minutes until the bites are cooked though and beginning to brown lightly

Woot! Thanks for the follow! Following you too! I'm going to enjoy these recipes. Curious though...why are you not using a microwave? We actually haven't gotten around replacing ours after accidentally leaving it when we moved. After six months now, we have gotten used to not having one. Am I reaping health benefits or saving electricity or both?
